Managing and/or using the equipment includes operations that are necessary as a result of normal use such as:
• inspection and checks;
• functional checks;
• routine maintenance;
• special maintenance.
NOTICE!
Maintenance work is strictly related to:
• the quality of the conveyed gas (impurities, humidity, gasoline, corrosive substances);
• the effectiveness of filtration;
• the equipment conditions of use.
To properly run the equipment, one should:
• follow the service frequency referred to in the manual for functional checks and routine maintenance.
• not exceed the time interval between one service and the next. The time interval is to be understood as the maximum
acceptable; it can, however, be shortened;
• promptly check the causes of any anomalies such as excessive noise, leakage of fluids or similar and remedy them.
The timely removal of any causes of anomaly and/or malfunction prevents further damage to the equipment and en-
sures operator safety;
